Chapter 237
Shakira said as she added some greens to the pan, “Going broke doesn’t mean you’re at a dead end.” With one hand flipping the pan and the other quickly stirring the food in the pan, she fried the rice until it was fragrant.
He said, “Lago isn’t someone who accepts his fate easily. Before you met him, he was already constantly trying to make more money for his comeback.
“Besides, going broke isn’t enough. While speaking, Shakira turned off the heat. The fragrant fried rice was poured into a large bowl. She sprinkled some purple perilla on it. She handed Gideon a spoon. “Give it a try.”
The fragrant fried rice was tempting. Gideon instinctively swallowed hard, suppressing his doubts. He ate a big spoonful of the beef and rice. The next second, his eyes lit up. He said. This is so good!”
Sean, who couldn’t win Jasmin, rushed into the kitchen. “Shakira! You are making food, especially for Jasmin! Now, he was even angrier. He hurried over to the food. “No way, I want some too before Jasmin cats all of it!”
Shakira, having been pushed away, couldn’t help but give a thumb–up. “The food is enough for six people. If you can finish all of it, I’ll be amazed!”
Cathy stuck–her cute head out behind the door, waving her tiny hands. “Shakira, is the food ready? Hurry up. I’ve put some aside for you. They wouldn’t dare to touch it.”
Shakira smiled, “Okay, I’ll be there after I wash my hands. Before leaving, she said to Gideon, “Remember to tell that middleman not to trust Lago too much. He’s good at acting and will use anyone to get what he wants. Be careful not to fall into his trap.”
Gideon chuckled, “It’s worth getting tricked if it means getting your attention.” Shakira didn’t catch the subtext. She just shook her head with a helpless smile, not taking it seriously
This meal exhausted Sean, So Jasmin kept teasing him. After everyone ate the food and played some games, Sean walked them to the garage. He teased Jasmin before they left. “Don’t come here again. You’re a pain in the ass!”“”
Jasmin put one of his hands on the steering wheel, looking aloof “Mr. Reynolds, don’t be so stingy. Out of everyone here tonight, you’re the only one I know.”
Sean said angrily. “What do you mean? You know Shakira too!”
Jasmin shrugged helplessly. “I’m a man. I can’t bully a girl, right Besides, I wouldn’t dare to mess with Shakira.”
Sean laughed, “Hahaha! Even a moron wouldn’t believe your nonsense!”
Sean grumbled as he saw his guest off. After he returned home, be called a cleaning service company to clean up his messy house. He glanced at his phone and noticed a message from his mom to remind him of tomorrow’s blind date.
Sean thought about it for a moment and hurriedly called his friend, who had been ignoring him all day. After waiting for a long time, Xanthe finally picked up the phone. Sean said anxiously, “You finally answered my call thought you were going
word!” 10 go
back on your
Xanthe was speechless. Sean heard a lot of noise mixed with a familiar announcement. He immediately frowned, ‘Are you at the airport?”
Xanthe didn’t notice Sean’s message until now. “Yeah, I boarded plane eight hours ago. I just landed in Vegas. When you texted me, I was on the plane so I couldn’t check my phone.”
Sean exhaled deeply. “Wait, you’re not in Crescentville. Who’s going to help me now?”
Xanthe asked, “What?”
Chapter 237
Sean nervously scratched his head and quickly told Xanthe about his blind date tomorrow. He suddenly asked, “What time are you getting back tomorrow!”
Xanthe was speechless.
She thought, ‘Am I out of my mind? I just finished an eight–hour flight and you are expecting me to go back tomorrow? In her mind, she angrily cursed Sean.
Xanthe said, “Didn’t you say your relative will be watching you? If I show up, won’t that ruin your plan?”
Sean, who was still calm yesterday, couldn’t sit still now. He paced back and forth holding his phone. “What do I do Help me come up with a plan!”
now?
Xanthe rolled her eyes dramatically. “Why are you so worried about it? Even if you do your best, the girl might not like you
anyway.”
Sean said, “How could she not like me? I’m so charming and handsome. There aren’t many men like me available. When a girl comes across a treasure like me, they will hold on to it!”
Xanthe chuckled sarcastically, “Yes, you’re right. Keep this attitude. I guarantee you won’t succeed in dating even after you date every girl in Crescentville.”
Sean would be a retard if he didn’t catch the sarcasm in Xanthe’s words. He squinted. “What do you mean?”
Xanthe quickly tried to change the subject. “Let’s talk about it later. I’m waiting for my luggage. Send me the girl’s info. I’ll figure something out.”
Sure enough, Sean’s attention was instantly diverted. He forwarded the information that his mom sent him to Xanthe Xanthe looked through it and couldn’t help but sigh, “Your date is impressive! The heiress of the Berret Group? Isn’t it the largest steel group in this country that sells its product only to the national companies?”
Sean said angrily, “Cut the crap. I need a solution now!”
“Don’t rush me! Let me see. Joan Berret, the heiress of the Berret Group, is outgoing, forthright, and independent, loves freedom, and respects her parents. Honestly, she seems like a pretty good match for you.”
Sean gritted his teeth. “I’ll call your Dad and he’ll make you go back right now. Do you believe it?”
Xanthe decided that after she arrived home, she would print outa photo of Sean, put it under her bed, and stamp on it every day! She said, T’ve got it. Tomorrow, you will. Then Xanthe told Sean his plan
Sean listened patiently to the plan but remained skeptical. “Are you sure this will work?”
Xanthe said very confidently, “Trust me. This is a perfect plan.”
Sean said, “Alright. I’ll go get ready.”
Xanthe said, “Remember to make it detailed so it will look convincing.”
Sean said, “Got it.”
Finally, after handling Sean’s problem, Xanthe put down her phone and sighed in relief. Lucy had been waiting with her luggage for a while, eavesdropping on their conversation. She lowered her head with a lot of thoughts.
Xanthe grabbed her suitcase and walked out knowingly, “Let’s go Someone is waiting for us outside.”
Lucy quickly caught up with her and said in a sweet voice. “You were talking on the phone for so long. Is it the rich friend you played games with last time?”

Xanthe said, “Yes.”
Xanthe didn’t notice Lucy’s expression. The person who had been waiting to pick them up arrived. Xanthe handed her luggage to the person and turned around to get into the car. Lucy’s eyes rolled mischievously. She suddenly asked, “Xanthe, do you love him?”
Just when Xanthe lifted her foot, she was startled by the question. She almost missed a step and fell to the ground.
